4 <br />1995 RECLAMATION SAMPLING <br />The number of transects per parcel will be determined by <br />proportional allocation. From previous sampling experience the <br />baseline figure of one transect per two acres will be used. <br />Each parcel will have transect locations selected using a <br />numbered grid system. The numbered grid will be placed over the <br />map of each individual parcel. Random number sets representing the <br />x and y coordinates will be used to pin-point the starting location <br />of each transect. Another set of random numbers will be generated <br />to orient the direction of the transect. These numbers range from <br />0 to 360 degrees and determine compass direction. Random numbers <br />are derived from a random number table and/or the random number key <br />of a calculator. <br />All transect positions and orientations will be plotted in the <br />office prior to field work. This should eliminate any bias in the <br />data collection. <br />Once the field work has been completed and data analyzed, <br />sample adequacy will be computed for the entire Mine 3 Block N. If <br />sample adequacy is not reached more transects will be allocated in <br />the same method as stated above. Proportional allocation will be <br />used only until the desired sample adequacy is achieved. <br />Therefore, there may be some discrepancies as to number of <br />transects per acre.This method is a reflection of a limited field <br />season and time constraints, not any bias of the operator. <br />Mine 3 Block N has three parcels in which the transects will <br />be systematically allocated. This is due to the size and nature of <br />those parcels. RCIO-4 is too small to use the grid system. The <br />long, narrow shape of parcels RDIB-1 and QKI1-5 makes the use of a <br />grid impractical for use of random allocation. This is a total of <br />five transects. <br />3) BLOCK F <br />Computer Area <br />Code <br />Seeding Acres # of <br />Date <br />MFL6-2 OVB #1 12/81 6.2 2 <br />MGK36-9 OVB #1 11/82 36.9 9 <br />MHL25-3 OVB #1 12/83 25.3 6 <br />JHJ30-5 51 E 10/83 30.5 8 <br />JIFB-5 51 E 6/84 8.5 2 <br />JJF4-2 51 E 6/85 4.2 1 <br />JJF17-3 51 E 6/85 17.5 4 <br />JJJ20-1 51 E 10/85 20.1 5 <br /> TOTAL: 149.0 37 <br />-_~~ <br />
